Otahuhu streets come alive with Sikh celebration

To mark the celebration of Vaisakhi, a procession was led from Otahuhu Gurudwara to the shopping mall. The 21st nagar kirtan (Sikh parade) was the biggest yet since the first procession in 1996. The parade, led by panj pyare (five beloved ones) saw participation from the public who walked alongside the Sri Guru Granth Sahib placed on a decorated trailer. Gatka teams (Sikh martial arts) from Auckland and Hastings were also a part of the procession.
Fruit and soft drinks were distributed among the viewers. The police, council and traffic management played a vital role in the success of the parade. Supreme Sikh Society Spokesperson Daljit Singh thanked the gathering who had come together to observe the harvest festival.
